I have been reading Studenomics for nearly 4 months now. If you’re looking for great personal financial advice from an ambitious blogger in his early 20’s, then you’ve come to the right place! He’s currently working on his Bachelor’s Degree in Business Management and has excellent advice especially for those of us that are trying to balance finance, fun, and school (no easy task!). Though his blog is typically more geared towards a younger demographic (college students), anybody would benefit from his background and financial perspective. Studenomics is one of my favorite personal finance blogs!

The following is a list of questions I asked the Studenomist himselfÂ so that we could all get to know him a little bit better:

1. Tell us about yourself! What are you studying? What do you want to go into? Hobbies?

I am currently a Business Management student with a minor in Finance. I have so many different options after school that I really don’t know where life will take me. I love reading personal finance blogs because I’m always looking for clever new ways to save and earn more money. I also try to stress to my readers that I’m just like any other young person; I love to go for drinks on the weekends and I make mistakes all the time. When you come to Studenomics you won’t be ever judge nor will I ever come off as a preacher. A few things to know about me are; I love to travel, I love to work out, and I love to learn new things.

2. What made you decide to start a blog about personal finance?

The fact that I’m always helping out my friends I figured that instead of only helping a few people I should be helping many people. As my blog grows in popularity I hope that more and more young people will apply my advice to their own lives.

3. What is your biggest vice when it comes to spending money, and how do you control it?

To be honest it would have to be food but I really don’t think I can control it. I love to work out and I love to eat good food. I try to eat home as much as possible but there are days where I go straight from school to work, meaning I’m out of the house for 16 hours. I need to eat something
and I won’t settle for garbage food. I love to grab some protein bars, chicken, whole wheat bread, etc. and eat healthy meals all day. With that
being said I have a small junk food/caffeine problem. I love starting my day off with a cup of coffee. In class I love to eat some M&Ms.

4. What is the worst financial decision you’ve even made, and what did you learn as a result?

Getting a girlfriend? Ahah just kidding, good thing she probably won’t read this. I would have to say investing in property too soon. I don’t really
regret it because if I had invested the same money in stocks I would have probably lost even more. I learned that I need to wait a bit longer next
time I make such a large purchase.

5. During such tough economic times, what is the best piece of advice you could offer somebody in their 20’s?

Don’t be afraid to get your hands dirty. Just because you have an education it doesn’t mean your entitled to some high paying job. You have to be willing to start at the bottom and to work your ass off. Do whatever it takes. If you have to start off as a assistant then do it.

6. What do you see happening to your blog in the next 3 years? What are some of your goals?

To make more than $5 a day lol. To be honest I want to see more interaction. More comments to posts, more emails, and even a forum. I want
to build the Studenomics brand to the point that people feel apart of a community. Whatever happens happens, all I can guarantee is that I will
continue writing high quality posts.

7. In conclusion, what recommendations would you make for other personal finance bloggers attempting to further market their blogs?

Guest post. Plain and simple the more people you can reach the better for you. It is important to guest post on totally random blogs. Try to guest post on a healthy, hobby, sports, etc. any type of blog you can in order to reach a completely new audience.

How you plan out your financial future can make or break you. Staying on top of your personal “numbers” and making sure you are not being taken advantage of is crucial. No matter what age you are or at what point you are in your financial life or life in general, it is crucial to see the “light” at the end of the tunnel. To some of us, the tunnel isn’t near as long, but staying focused and on top of the game is most of the battle. It sure gives you beautiful, bright days and peaceful nights!
